## What it is
GDevelop is an open-source, no-code 2D/3D game engine with a visual event-based system, built-in behaviors, multiplayer support, and AI assistance. Games export with one click to web, Android, iOS, and desktop, and the editor runs cross-platform.

## Use cases
- make a 2D platformer without coding
- build a 3D game with no programming experience
- create a multiplayer browser game
- publish an indie game to Steam and mobile app stores
- teach game development in classrooms
- prototype game ideas quickly with an AI assistant

## When to choose
- you want to build games without writing code
- you need one-click export to web, mobile, and desktop
- you're a beginner, educator, or indie making 2D/3D games
- you want built-in multiplayer, leaderboards, and monetization SDKs

## When to avoid
- you need full low-level engine control or custom rendering pipelines
- your project requires AAA-scale 3D graphics or heavy physics
- you prefer code-first engines like Godot or Unity
- you need iOS publishing without a paid plan
